That is exactly what it is.
We ought not to be stupid on purpose with viruses, but this whole scam is just to make people fear.
It is easy to make a statistical number sound scary, unless they show it beside a number that people recognize...

Fear and market manipulation.

The death scoreboard is funny when talking about ordinary seasonal flu deaths: 20,000-52,000 is quite a range. Wonder how they came up with that?



Yes, there are a lot less deaths from the corona virus but there are a lot less people infected/exposed compared to the flu...that we know about anyway. I think there is much unknown; but what they believe is that the mortality rate is higher for the corona virus. This is a quote, "It (corona virus) has killed roughly 2% of the people who have contracted it so far, according to world health officials. That compares with a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu in the U.S., according to CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season."

If my math is correct, you are 21 times more likely to die from the corona virus than the flu.

The math is correct as far as you took it. US persons with flu this year who went to hospital over 100,000 of estimate 14,000,000 who had it. So less likely to come in contact w/person who has Chinese virus. Then no guarantee of transfer. Age of deaths from either virus is those very young and over 60-65 and those with previous susceptible to tracheal transfer into system. Of 30 some odd tests run in Missouri 1 positive result.
So media run fear factor based on what we don't know yet. While our fed disease checkers are quietly working away with no warnings as came out on stuff before, like Ebola that has no slow down in the health system
@Hinerman IIRC flu has been around as long as I've been aware. So in the last 66 years there has been a variance in # of deaths each year

Me either. Just an example of throwing money at things with little result.

 

[Hedgerow]

If a company wanted to make a *s-word ton of money, they could devise a “flu away” pill..

Like who wouldn’t drop $50 for something that just gets rid of the *s-word once ya got it.??

That would be the public school system...

What a money toilet that is..

The wheat looked great yesterday, now there’s standing water out there..

We’re plenty wet for sure. Monday KC got 1.75-2.25” of rain. I worked in the rain until about 4 then I got tired of it. By the time I put my tools away, drug the welding lead into the box it came a hard rain. Timing was just about right to bug out!

We keep our rigs in a yard on K32 just East of 435. Anchor Trucking hauls a lot for us so we use their yard for storage and to make repairs between jobs. We’ve almost always got a rig or two here.
